Denise Welch returned to Loose Women today and bravely opened up about her ongoing battle with depression, admitting she's 'not been well' over the past few weeks.
On Wednesday's show, ITV 's Kaye Adams told viewers that Denise has been grappling with her 'unwelcome visitor,' a term she uses to describe her depression, which has been particularly persistent of late.
The TV personality continued: "When Janet returned it was up to Janet to say, 'I've had hip surgery I feel well enough to come back'. It's up to me to know when I'm well enough to come back." Denise added: "Depression does exactly what it says on the tin, it depresses every single emotion. So you feel a flatness to things you usually get emotional or have feelings about, it robs you of that."
On a more serious note, the ITV presenter added: "You know it's so amazing for you to share that side of yourself, Denise, I know a lot of people watching will be very, very grateful for that. We love every version of you."
